there are a lot of things that the u.s. government was doing in the 1980 that it was no longer doing in 1990. this is all -- it's all a story. it's about social security. we did a big social security reform package that included spending cuts by raising the retirement age back in 1985. so this notion -- it's a mythical history where nothing works except basically destroying the major safety net programs and it serves a purpose but it's not true. >> the -- back when the president took office and the economy was clearly in crisis and something had to be done, they went for a stimulus package and there were two main themes about the stimulus package. one was, we have to do this. the other was an attack that was filled with junk. the third was, this doesn't work at all. there was one voice, exactly one voice out there saying, it's not enough. you have to do more. you were ridiculed for saying that. the president actually singled you out, i remember, in a press conference by name, saying i don't agree with him. have you gotten a
